The Montblanc Meisterstück Classique GT 163 Rollerball is slimmer and slightly smaller than the Meisterstück Le Grand collection. Both the barrel and cap are made of black precious resin inlaid with the Montblanc emblem with gold-plated clip and rings. Each Meisterstück has a unique serial number.
Montblanc got its start when three German partners created the Simplizissiumus-Füllhalter pen company in 1906, which changed its name to Simplo Filler Pen Co. GMBH in 1907, at the same time it moved from Berlin to Hamburg. The company's first pen was the Rouge et Noir safety pen.
